Cortex Data Lake License Activation

Cortex Data Lake License Activation

Determine whether to you need to activate your Cortex
Data Lake (formerly called the Logging Service) license on the CSP
or on the Cloud Services portal.

The Cortex Data Lake collects log data from next-generation
firewalls, GlobalProtect cloud service and the Traps management
service.There are two ways in which you can activate your Cortex
Data Lake license depending on what products you are using:

Customer Support Portal—If you have Palo Alto Networks
firewalls on which you plan to enable log forwarding to the Cortex Data
Lake or you use the GlobalProtect cloud service, you must first
activate the Cortex Data Lake from the Customer Support Portal. The Customer
Support Portal workflow allows you to associate the auth code with Panorama
so that you can get the Cloud Services plugin that is required for
the firewalls and the GlobalProtect cloud service. See License
and Install the Cloud Services Plugin.

Cortex Hub—You can activate the license directly on
the Cloud
Services portal, if you have purchased the Traps management
service license, and the following are true:

Your Palo Alto Networks firewalls are not forwarding logs
to the Cortex Data Lake region in which you plan to store Traps
logs, and you don’t use the GlobalProtect cloud service. In this
case, when you activate the Traps management service license you
receive Traps Included Storage of 100GB.
